question concerning slugs.....

[odn777 0]

Hello everyone,

 

havent posted here in a while. The weather is finally clearing up here in va, getting warm enough to spend some time out shooting, i was wandering if anyone can recommend a slug type for the .410.

 

Also is a choke for slugs necessary? I havent gotten the choke set yet. I know they are floating around here and there, or at least were at one time, but I havent gotten a set yet. Just didnt know if the .410 can have slugs ran through it without a choke and wanted to make sure.

 

thanks in advance,

odn

Okay, first off for slug shooting you don't want any choke. Slugs shoot best out of a cylinder bore gun which is exactly what you have with a S-410 with just the thread protector installed.

 

Secondly, the most accurate, powerful, and leathel factory slug out of a S-410 is the Brenneke slug. The best value for the money is the Russian made steel cases "Silver Bear" or "Golden Bear" slugs. They are not near as powerful or leathel and slightly less accurate but are really good cheap plinking ammo.

thanks turbo,

 

Like I said I've been away for awhile and havent kept up with stuff as far as ammo and so forth with my .410, so I wanted to be sure about the choke thing. I didnt think I would need one but wanted to double check to be on the safe side. Thanks for all the links as well.

You don't need a choke to shoot slugs, and you do *NOT* want to shoot them out of a full choke, but you may find that some guns, with some slugs, shoot better with small degree of choke. Improved may give you better groups than cylinder bore.
